How exactly, step by step, do you get an avatar? I tried using an image from my documents I had saved, and also from a URL, making sure I also listed the 150 x 150 maximum pixel size where it is indicated. I know Petey has the answers... thanks for your help!~

Life is short, make the most of every opportunity you get to do the right thing, even when it would be easier to just say "Screw it, I don't care." Make a difference, one opportunity at a time. Smile!

-On a seperate webpage go to http://www.photobucket.com (that worked best for me)-Type in your search, i.e. disc golf, etc. and hit search-Find an image you like-Right-click the image and select properties-Within properties you can make sure the dimension size isn't too large-Find one that fits-Copy the Direct Link code (bottom, right on photobucket screen)-Paste the code into the "Upload From a URL" section in your profile

Click Edit Avatar

-Set the dimensions to match the image

Right-click the image and select properties

-Hit submit!!

Hopefully this works for ya, it took me a minute to find one that fit...

$$$

avatar images that get loaded every time someone clicks on a thread, wether they actually scroll down to see all the posts (and avatars) or not, take much more data traffic to load than the simple text and board layout.

if the site goes over whatever amount of gigs of traffic they're alotted per month, it costs big bucks. (same idea as your cell phone plan. first 1000 minutes are free, but for every minute over 1000 you get charged some absurd rate.)

Are YOU the d-bag who swiped all four of the putters I left at White Birch?
